Won't you let me come with you?
And I long to be with him from morning till night
Did I ever love another?
Tomorrow is Sunday, Monday is the day
But I could tie back my hair, men's clothing I'll put on
No, my love no, no, no, my love no
Yes I love you far better than words could ever express
With hope in our hearts and love in our eyes
And we marched onto victory to wear our bands of gold
Now Johnny, oh Johnny, I feel that you are unkind
Please won't you let me come with you?
Your captain will call you and you must obey
No, no, my love no, no, no, my love no
So we marched into battle together side by side
Yes, yes, my love, yes
I could pass as your comrade, no one will ever know
Your captain will call you, it grieves my heart so
No, my love no
No, my love no, no, no, my love no
Won't you let me come with you?
No, my love no
I long to be with him, it grieves my heart so
No, no, my love, no
You know I love you far better than all of mankind
Oh yes, yes, yes
Won't you let me come with you?
And I could march as your comrade as we go along
